check yer motives.
what do you have to offer? what you used to be like, what happened, and what yer like now.
Heh. It wasn't like he said, "you're not doing enough." It was more like, "you should try some speaking commitments, I think you're ready and you have an amazing story."
Besides, it's not like making coffee is hard lol. And, my month is up this week anyway.
I have no resentments toward my sponsor. He's my second sponsor (my first just wasn't available enough to do step work; meeting once a month just wasn't cutting it for me). He is the best thing that ever happened to me. We are so different and lead completely different lives, but he gets me like no one else ever has and tells it to me real. No BS. I needed that so much, given my penchant for manipulation.
And he is quite fond of the phrase, "check your motives."
